Week 1

One point of this speech is that Dr. King describes how Rosa Parks got arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white person. He talks about how thankful he is for this event to happen because the problem with the buses had existed for over years, and that they're determined to gain justice on the buses.

He also talks about sticking together in all their actions as one community. He describes to the audience that they can get many of the things that they desire, but also justly deserve. He tells the audience to be brave for fighting what they all believe in.

Another point that he leaves is he points out that they are not advocating violence, and never have. That they believe in the teachings of Jesus, and the only weapon that they have in their hands is the "weapon of protest."
